Make a big impact with

a powerful but compact

exterior LED luminaire

ArchiPoint iColor Powercore is the right choice when

you want a large, powerful point of light that can be

seen from a distance—even across an entire city.

This daylight-visible, exterior-rated LED luminaire lets

you create high-visibility direct-view installations

with high-output illuminance.

But high-intensity output is just one of the many

strengths that ArchiPoint brings to lighting designers,

building owners, municipalities, and others who need a

lot of light.

We designed ArchiPoint to be a single point (or pixel)

of intelligent color light. While a pixel may sound small,

ArchiPoint is all about big output—up to an impressive

25,150 nits of intelligent color light in a weatherproof,

low-profile housing. It’s a proven success, performing

flawlessly at high-profile, large-scale sites and

enhancing skylines around the world.

ArchiPoint excels in direct view installations.

A direct-view luminaire that gets to the point

ArchiPoint is part of our family of direct-view lighting

solutions, which creates addressable points and lines

of light that transform buildings from dull to dazzling—

and attract attention. Direct-view luminaires represent

a different approach to lighting. While traditional

illumination delivers light on surfaces, with direct-view,

the light itself is the main focus. Mounted directly on

the surface of a structure, our direct-view luminaires

send out points and lines of light that outline office

towers, create stunning color effects on casino façades,

display video on stadiums—and give lighting designers

the chance to let their artistic imaginations run wild.

Powerful point of light

4Color Kinetics ArchiPoint Product Guide

For large-scale direct-view projects that demand the

brightest point of light available, there’s only one real

choice—ArchiPoint.

No matter how you use them, ArchiPoint luminaires get

noticed, even in daylight. They deliver high-output light

and a full range of color. They’re simple to install and

reliable to operate. And smart design and meticulous

manufacturing make ArchiPoint exceptionally rugged,

so it can withstand even the harshest conditions—year

af ter year.

What makes

ArchiPoint

different?

Take a look at ArchiPoint and the first

thing you’ll notice is how well-designed

and rugged this heavy-duty luminaire

is—even before it’s delivering light.

But that’s just the beginning of the

many strengths that differentiate this

remarkably bright, versatile luminaire.

A Range of Choices

ArchiPoint Powercore comes in one light

option, and can be fitted with an accessory

specifically designed for the luminaire family.

So there are options to choose from when

selecting the ideal ArchiPoint for the job.

When it comes to color, the one available light

output option offers a unique quality that can

be utilized in different ways, depending on

the requirements of your installation. With

the options, the choice is yours.

RGB

Standard option for intensely

saturated color light.

Maximum Output for Daylight Visibility

It isn’t easy to outshine daylight. But ArchiPoint

outputs up to 25,150 nits (candela per square meter)

of intelligent color light. That’s an amazing amount

of light, enough to stand out in brightly lit urban

environments and daylight—even in direct sunlight.

Intelligent Color

ArchiPoint delivers intensely saturated RGB color

light, giving you the color you need—delivered with

high output that ensures it gets noticed.

Direct View Applications

ArchiPoint supports direct-view applications, such as

large-scale video for architectural, media façade, and

advertising applications—for day and night.

Superior Color Accuracy and Consistency

Optibin, our advanced binning algorithm, ensures

color consistency and uniformity right from the

start by selecting the brightest and rightest LEDs at

the core of ArchiPoint. It’s just one of the advanced,

proprietary technologies that optimize our

luminaires (see page X).

Resolution Control

Used in video applications, ArchiPoint luminaires

give you precise resolution control, since they can be

spaced flexibly depending on resolution and viewing

distance—or combined seamlessly with other direct-

view luminaires.

Compact Form Factor

ArchiPoint provides high output in a low-profile

luminaire, giving you more flexibility for placing

luminaires, even in constricted spaces.

Proven Reliability

Thanks to smart design, extensive testing, and

years of experience, ArchiPoint delivers unbeatable

reliability, even in the most adverse conditions

we’ve encountered around the world—from bridges

sprayed with caustic ocean salt spray to the wind-

buffeted exteriors of tall buildings.

Optibin

Our LED optimization technology begins the color con-

sistency process by grouping (or binning) LEDs by flux

as well as center wavelength. This proprietary binning

optimization process uses an advanced bin selection

formula that exceeds industry standards for chromatici-

ty. The result? Higher uniformity and consistency of hue

and color temperature for all our luminaires. Integrated

into all ArchiPoint luminaires.

Powercore

Our patented approach to power output proves

that simple is better. As well as faster, more efficient,

and accurate. Powercore controls power output to

luminaires directly from line voltage. It merges line

voltage with control data and delivers both over a single

standard cable—dramatically simplifying installation and

lowering total system cost. Integrated into all ArchiPoint

luminaires.

Controllers

Our broad line of controllers brings you

differing capabilities that match your specific

needs, the complexity of your project,

and your budget. Our controllers offer the

industry-standard DMX protocol, or our

proprietary, scalable KiNET protocol for

Ethernet networks. Because of addressing

limitations, DMX is appropriate for relatively

simple installations, or for light shows in

which multiple ArchiPoint luminaires operate

in unison.

Because it is not subject to DMX addressing

limitations, Ethernet is the preferred

environment for intricate color-changing light

shows. And ArchiPoint Powercore can also be

used with third-party controllers.

Power/Data Supplies

All ArchiPoint luminaires accept either DMX or

Ethernet input and 100 to 277 VAC power from

Data Enabler Pro.

Interact Landmark (formerly Philips ActiveSite)

is the first-ever cloud-hosted connected

lighting system for architectural LED lighting

installations. Interact Landmark allows you to

remotely monitor, manage, and maintain an

installation site from anywhere in the world,

using a secure web connection.

Configuration and planning

Regardless of the size and complexity of your installation, the planning time you spend up front can help streamline

the installation and configuration of your luminaires. Keep these points in mind as you plan your installation:

You may be a lighting designer who wants to tap the

power of video, a municipality that wants to turn a

landmark into an icon, or a building owner/manager

who wants to draw attention to your office tower,

stadium, casino, or other structure. Before you dive

into video, there are some initial questions you need

to ask yourself, key elements you’ll need to create

a complete solution, and some specific technical

considerations that you need to address by reading

Color Kinetics Video Guideline.

Create a lighting design plan that identifies and

locates all luminaires, Data Enabler Pro devices,

and controllers. Use Configuration Calculator to

determine how many luminaires you can install in a

single run, and the maximum distances between Data

Enabler Pro devices, luminaires, and controllers.

ArchiPoint luminaires operate in 8-bit

mode by default. To address luminaires, including

switching between 8-bit mode and 16-bit mode,

download QuickPlay Pro.

Determine whether to address luminaires and

configure your lighting system offline or interactively.

With offline configuration, you stage and configure

your system off-site, prior to installation. Offline

configuration can be convenient when luminaires are

to be installed in multiple locations or locations with

difficult access. Interactive configuration is typically

performed by an experienced technician, after

luminaires have been installed. The interactive method

can save time, since you only connect and test your

luminaires once.
